God has been moving in my life in an interesting way as of late. Most of you know that I thank God every day for the friends (read: church family) that I have been blessed with. I love them all without condition and always will. They comfort me when I need comforting. They listen to me when I need to be listened to. They laugh with me. They cry with me. The lift me up spiritually in many incomprehensible ways that I will most likely never be able to explain. However, I can't help but notice smal… Continue

John 14:1-14 My mother always reminded me of this scripture when I was growing up: that Christ went to a place in which there were many “mansions,” and called it His Father’s Kingdom.

One acre is fenced in chain link for our dogs/house/child; the rest is a combination of pines and field. We don't have a beautiful lawn, but that's okay—I really like the naturalized look.

Wow... My first blog on here. I've been blogging for 4 years now on MySpace. It sucks though when I attempt to post anything of a spiritual nature on MySpace because 3/4ths of my friends on there just don't get it. It's nice to be able to post in a place where I might get some meaningful feedback. Thanks in advance for reading. ANYWAYS.... God has been moving in and out of my life over the last 2 years in a manner resembling nothing so much as a turnstile at a New York City subway station. I'v… Continue
